I visited the  Qal’at al-Bahrain fort on january the 23rd just after returning from the A'ali burial mounds. Public transport in Bahrain is quite good and even excellent when compared with the one in some neighbouring countries. I just took a bus from Manama's central bus station to the Seef mall from where I walked more or less 15-20 min  to the fort. First I visited the museum there which is certainly not the most interesting museum out there. Then I went over to the fort which I visited for more or less an hour. After that I had a coffee in the restaurant next to the museum.

A very pleasant visit and an interesting fort,but nothing from another dimension. I walked back to the Seef mall,had an indian dish in the food court there,and then took a bus back to Manama.
